#42941 closed enhancement (fixed)

Improve options.php error "options page not found"

Reported by: tdlewis77's profile tdlewis77 Owned by: sergeybiryukov's profile SergeyBiryukov

Description

The message generated by options.php when the options page is not in the whitelist is "Error: options page not found". This message is so generic that it provides the plug-in developer with no clue as to what needs to be addressed. A more useful message would be "Error: options page X not found in whitelist."
